y/n's pov

i wake up protected in jughead's arms, before realising my doom-ridden situation. i am carrying a small little life. jug's arm moves under me, as he slowly cracks open his breath taking eyes. "i hope our baby has your eyes" i whisper to him softly, and a small grin breaks out on his face. "you are okay with all of this, aren't you, y/n? you seemed upset about, it - i mean our baby" he reaches out and gently caresses my check under his smooth thumb. i nod slowly, before answering, "i am. i'm just going to need an - adjustment period of sorts". "i'm sorry to interrupt, but you two have to get to school, i also suggest maybe talking to the school counsellor, about your predicament" fp pokes his head into the small bedroom, waiting for our nods of confirmation before leaving. i get up and dress myself, waiting for jug to do the same before leaving the room together. "does pop's sound okay for breakfast?" he asks, as we step out of the trailer with our backpacks. "yea, it sounds good" i grab his hand, keeping it in mine as we walk across town to the diner.
"jug, should we tell them?" by 'them' i'm referring to our friends, who would certainly freak out, but it might be night to have the support. "let's wait until we have a certain plan, then we can answer all of the foreseeable questions" i nod.

until now i haven't realised how lucky i am to be in this with jughead. he thinks everything through so well, and puts all of his effort into everything. this child will be so lucky to have him as their father.

"what has brought you two in, both of your grades are good?" the school consoler, mrs burble, asks, hands crossed neatly on her desk.
jughead and i make eye contact before he says, "well, y/n and i are... expecting a baby". i hear mrs burble suck in a breath before answering, "have you two made the correct doctors appointments?" "no, we literally found out like, 24 hours ago" i say, my normally thin patients running abnormally thin. jughead rubs my hand in a soothing way before getting me to apologise to the teacher.

we end up at pop's after school. i am slowly sipping a strawberry milkshake, and jug is enjoying a chocolate one. "we need to make doctors appointments y/n, i don't want you to get hurt during this".  i am about to reply when a song comes on the radio. 'somewhere over the rainbow' from wizard of oz. i close my eyes and imagine this place. jughead and i can raise our baby without anyone else telling us what to do. "jug i want to run away from riverdale. just leave, you mean and this baby. no drama, no nothing. just put little family" "oh my love, i want to too, but we have to work through this. i'll be there every step of the way for my the two loves of my life" he reaches over the table and rubs my hand the same way he did at mrs burbles office, and i know, it truly will all be okay.
